I found Pikmin 4 problematic in a way too. You get the best toys at the very end so you end up not using them very much

Patient gamers do not face a lot of disadvantages, but they do include (artificial) scarcity, waning official support and facing old-ass design choices that might not look very favourable anymore.

My problem with this is that once the game is 100% complete, do I want to still play just to see a different cosmetic?

I don't really see this as an issue, but as a choice. Back in the day, games lasted a lot longer. Hell yes we wanted to play as Metal Sonic. The next best thing we had was replaying the game as just Sonic.

This will probably not get as much attention as other FFF's, but I absolute love how they are determined to optimise the quality of life across the globe.

I hate how none of the Dutch (mainstream) media talks about these events either, only about what happened to the Israeli hooligans after.

I dont care what you say in your review, but if you clock 8000 hours in a game I'm pretty sure you liked it enough to keep playing, or you're actually just addicted and need to seek help.

I will die on this hill

Idk how to feel about Jerusalem Post links. I was going to comment about how the article is devoid of any details, and then I read the last line: they use GenAI to help write their articles.

I rarely downvote but this deserves one.

If you want to be able to edit and delete comments from others you might want to look at hosting your own website where you can rule however you like.

Ah I forgot about the last sprint. Thanks for confirming!

This presidency is a revenge tour for Trump, he even stated so himself. Millions are getting deported. Environmental regulations, human rights and workers' rights are stated to be discarded.

Yeah, 2003 seemed pretty reasonable.

Am I reading this right? Norris needs to finish 1P higher than Max to keep the title fight alive, 2P if Max got the fastest lap?

I mean, it's like a hobby. If you are unlocking them with a program you're just cheating on yourself. If you feel like you need to cheat to make yourself feel better about something that doesn't impact anyone else, then I think you should reflect a bit on that and ask yourself why you wanted it in the first place.

But that's just like, my opinion, man. It doesn't really harm anyone in the end. I just think achievements are used as carrots on a stick, exploiting the human psyche of "number go up = dopamine" to make the player think the game has more value than it does, or is "worth the price" because you got so many hours out of it (grinding for those last shitty achievements).

These achievements are just filler, preying on the people who feel bad if they don't get them all.

You can see in your own screenshot that 0.1% of players have completed it. So yes, it's possible.

Worth it? No.
